Make a Table

Table Top 1Make a decision just how big a table you require, so the sizes are down to you. I wanted a huge one with 6 legs. Anyway here we go. . . so, ensure all ends are cut square.

Table Top 2Make sure that you are on a flat surface and glue all the parts to the pywood, once you have finished sand down all the corners so that they are now square.

Buy some legsPick up your table leg (brought from local supplier) or online, apply a spot of glue to the base of the leg and use two pieces of square ended wood to keep the leg upright whilst you fix it to the first corner of your table. You don't need to leave the scrap wood in place, just be careful removing them.

Once all the legs have been glued and dried (6 in my case) you can turn it over and check to see if all is level and no wobbles. . . . hopefully.

Once you have stopped admiring your handy work, turn your table back over and glue the ¼" square softwood in between the table legs to give support.You will see I have used the edge of ¼"² softwood we glued to the exterior of the table earlier as a guide when placing my legs and infill supports.

Infill with supportsContinue until you have unfilled all the spaces between the table legs.Turn it upright and hopefully you should have something that resembles the picture on the right.
